LOCAL RESTAURANT RECOGNIZED BY NEW YORK TIMES

  

The New York Times has named a Brenham restaurant as one of the best barbecue restaurants of the New Generation.

Truth Barbecue first opened in Brenham in 2015 by Leonard Botello IV, who serves as the owner and pitmaster.  They are located at 2990 Highway 290 West.

Four years later, Botello opened a second location at 110 South Heights Boulevard in Houston.

Among the items on the menu that the article suggests that customers try are the beef ribs, the brisket, the cream spinach, and chocolate cake.

They have other desserts that are made by Botello’s mother, Janel, and the restaurant’s baker, Laquita Wilkins.

It is not the first time that Truth Barbecue has been honored. They have been honored multiple times by Texas Monthly as one of the Top Barbecue Restaurants in the Lone Star State, making it to the top three in 2021.

According to their website, www.truthbbq.com, Botello makes everything from scratch.  His barbecue is described as “authentic Central Texas style dedicated to the history of Texas barbecue, and his relentless attention to detail.”
